The
Lisbon Players Present
The Provoked Wife
Sir
John Vanbrugh’s Masterpiece
a timeless comedy of manners and contemporary
concerns
Written by Sir John Vanbrugh, and first performed
in the Spring of 1697, this high energy Restoration Comedy deals with
themes of marital infidelity, scheming flirtation, sexual shenanigans,
intrigue, revenge, misogyny, abusive relationships and ill-advised coupling.
The play is full of witty observations which, three hundred years later,
contemporary audiences will find fitting, funny and full of wisdom. What do
you do when you’re trapped in a loveless marriage with a brutish,
gambling, drunken oaf of a husband and a handsome,
young gentleman is professing his love for you! You get out, right?
